Elton John Sings for Michael Jackson

Elton John was in the middle of his annual "White Tie and Tiara Ball" when he was rocked by the news of Michael Jackson's death.

elton john

We're told Elton is singing right now at the event and he's dedicated his song "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" to Michael.

Liz Hurley, Hugh Grant, Lily Allen, and Kelly Osbourne were at the party -- however several of the guests left once they heard about the news.

Elton Bitch Slapped by Free Speech

Elton JohnLooks like the Rocket Man himself just got shot back down to earth.

In a landmark decision, The Guardian paper just won their right to have a sense of humor -- after a judge ruled against Elton John's defamation case against the paper.

Elton sued The Guardian over a fake excerpt they printed from the ivory tickler's diary, alleging that Elton cared more about schmoozing the social elite than raising money for AIDS at his annual "White Tie and Tiara Ball."

The courts decided "irony" and "teasing" don't really count as defamation.

Perhaps it's time for Elton to click his heels together three times and ask the wizard to help him lighten up.

Elton to Lily: I Can Snort You Under the Table!

Blow for blow, Elton John can still snort Lily Allen under the table -- and when a catftight broke out between the two of them at last night's GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, the Rocketman let her know it!

An obviously trashed Allen tried to spar with the master, cussing him out and taking shots at his age, but Elton shut her down slamming Lily for being a drunk and ripping the singer over her alleged penchant for nose candy.

The bitch is back!

Who the Heck is Dennis Hoffman?

We got Dustin Hoffman last night at the Lakers game -- too bad our guy kept calling him "Dennis."

Also in L.A.: Tobey Maguire, David Arquette, Kristin Davis, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy and Steven Spielberg also went to see L.A. take on Boston. Kendra Wilkinson was classy as ever at CoCo de Ville, Elton John made a stateside appearance and Billy Bob Thornton showed how less cool his life is than Angelina's.

In NY: Steven Van Zandt had a near wardrobe malfunction.

Party Like a Posh Star

With guests including Elton John, Gwen Stefani, Diddy, Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckham's b-day party was one frickin' random affair.

Also in L.A.: Neil Patrick Harris dodged all things Britney, Janice Dickinson said she'd be doing Maxim (in her dreams, maybe!), Jo from "Real Housewives of Orange County" gave her opinion on the NY incarnation of the show and Joe Francis' lady friend said he was into men.

In NY: Woody Allen looked confused, Milo Ventimiglia pretended not to hear questions about Hayden and Larry David said we should "shoot the Pope."

Post-Pokey, Same Old Paris?

Paris Hilton said she wanted to change her image from party girl to charity worker, but reports from her recent Hawaiian getaway say that the socialite was up to the same old, same old. Page Six reports that Paris went clubbing at the Hyatt while in Hawaii, and swapped spit with a couple of the local boys. Even worse, a source said, "The paparazzi told us that Paris calls them herself." A lensman told the source, "We love her. She lets us know where she's going to be so we can take as many pictures as we want."

Paris' rep Elliot Mintz says that just ain't so. "The last thing she needs is more paparazzi coverage."

Angry Elton Flips Off Cop

Elton John was not a happy camper after last Sunday's Concert for Diana. When Sir Elton's chauffeur-driven ride was stopped on his way to the concert's after-party, he flew into a wild rage. All cars were barred from within 50 yards for security reasons, but the "Tiny Dancer" singer didn't care. He chewed out the offending cop, and then some. "Get out of my f**king way," he screamed. "Don't you know who I am? I've been working all f**king day and I need to get to my f**king dressing room."

Reports say Elton was in an especially bad mood because he was forced to cut his finale performance short due to technical difficulties.

Nicole Narrows Wedding Dress?

Preggers Nicole Richie is closer than ever to figuring out what she'll wear for her shotgun wedding to rocker Joel Madden. 24Sizzler.com reports that Nicole is considering "Giorgio Armani, YSL, maybe Zac Posen, and some L.A. designers she likes. Nicole's not fixated on getting some huge designer name, though, like how Katie [Holmes] got Armani. And she's already checking out L.A. bridal shops. She's reached out to high-end L.A. bridal boutique Renee Strauss for help in getting a wedding dress fast, so she's fueling the wedding fire, but she loves it. Let's hope she finds something in an empire waist style.

Sharon Osbourne Gets Pumped by Elton

Sharon Osbourne, who TMZ has learned will take Brandy's seat at the judge's table on "America's Got Talent," was seen indulging her taste for $500 pumps, while getting a little fashion advice from a pal ... Sir Elton John.

Spotted yesterday at Barneys in Beverly Hills, the petite and taut Mrs. O and the chunky philanthropic lord perused a rack of Manolo Blahnik heels.

Sharon, sporting a hairdo nearly the color of her pink clutch, is clearly a judge of good taste.

Post-Rehab Britney Steps Out

Baldy Britney Spears made her first post-rehab public appearance this weekend when she stepped out to take a dance class and have dinner with her girlfriends, reports People. She was spotted Friday evening at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood taking two hour-long hip-hop dance classes.

Spears has worked and collaborated with Millennium Dance Complex instructors in the past on videos, but her attendance, says hip-hop instructor Darrien Herring, was shocking. "I had no idea she was coming," he said, who had high praise for the pop princess. She looked "fantastic," and "did the choreography really well," he said. "In fact, she came in and nailed it."

Spears, clad in a dark brown wig, later met up with three girlfriends at SHU Sushi House Unico in Bel Air. And though she's been known to take pops at the paparazzi, Spears was all smiles for photographers as she headed home around 11:30 PM.

Naomi Now Nice?

Perhaps cleaning toilets is the key to a kinder, gentler Naomi: The New York Daily News spoke with one of Naomi Campbell's fellow community service workers, who reported that the model-slash-sanitation worker was "a pleasure to work with." The man declined being identified and was coy about why he was assigned community service, but was seen carrying Naomi's bags all week, and on Friday, left the work site with Naomi. "She's a wonderful and impressive businesswoman," said the mystery man, speaking outside his posh Battery Park City address, and noting that "we had a good time, but got a lot of work done."


Paul Hangs With Post-Heather Hottie


While Heather Mills dances with the stars, soon-to-be-ex hubby Paul McCartney is getting hot and heavy with a new squeeze. The beleaguered Beatle has been spotted a lot lately with Sabrina Guinness, of, yes, the Guinness Stout beer empire. Guinness, 52, was spotted recently with McCartney, his daughter Stella and her husband Alasdhair Willis. McCartney told Brit rag the Daily Mail that "I realize everyone wants to see me with a new bird right now and that's very flattering. We enjoy each other's company." The politically progressive McCartney then added that he and Guinness woo each other by talking about "stuff like the environment and Al Gore, things like that."

Party Favors...Elton Enjoys 60th Birthday Bash...Piven on Nobu's No-List...Snoop Denied Travel Visa.


Sir Elton John celebrated the big 6-0 in New York this weekend with a birthday bash fit for only the Rocket Man himself. More than 500 A-list friends including Donatella Versace, Bette Midler and Rod Stewart, joined Elton and husband David Furnish at the aptly named St. John of the Divine Church, the world's largest gothic cathedral. ... According to the New York Daily News "Entourage's" Jeremy Piven has been warned to stay away from the Japanese Nobu restaurant chain after bad behavior at Nobu's Aspen, Colorado, outpost. A source tells NYDN columnist Ben Widdicombe that Piven not only tipped poorly, but also made a nasty comment to the manager after being dissatisfied with the table he was given. Piven denies the flap. ... Rapper Snoop Dogg's reps report that the rapper has been denied a British visa, and will be unable to join his buddy P. Diddy on tour there. Reps say the rapper is "mystified" by the decision, and officials refuse to comment, though some speculate it may have something to do with Snoop's involvement in a skirmish at London's Heathrow Airport last April.

Oprah Opens Another School -- in South Africa

Oprah Winfrey sang, danced and celebrated with the kids of the Seven Fountains Primary School on Friday, a new school for poor South Africans funded by Oprah's Angel Network charity.

The $1.6 million school has 25 classrooms, a computer center and two sports fields, and serves around a thousand students -- nearly 800 more than her other South African school, Oprah's Leadership Academy for Girls.

Oprah's has received both praise and some heat on that project -- a $40 million school with 28 classrooms which only serves around 150 girls -- since it opened in January.

No word on whether the talk show queen ever plans on opening a school for disadvantaged kids -- of which there are many -- in the U.S.

Naomi – Leave the Manolos at Home



Tomorrow, convicted cell phone thrower Naomi Campbell starts her five-day community service stint with the New York Department of Sanitation. She'll be mopping floors across the Big Apple as punishment for her attack on maid Ana Scolavino. Any tips for Naomi on her big day? Sanitation boss Albert Durell told the New York Daily News that he hopes that she'll "know not to come in high heels or anything like that. "Sneakers and blue jeans are a good idea. Wearing Manolos is not."

Eager to prove she's over pelting others with BlackBerries, Campbell says that the clothes she wears while performing community service will be auctioned for charity. We'd rather have the Manolos, Naomi.

Mills Could Be "Screwed" Says Rival Dancer


When "Dancing with the Stars" returns for its fourth season tomorrow night, all eyes will be on one-legged contestant Heather Mills -- including those of her fellow dancers. The New York Post talked to some of her competitors, who are equally in awe of Mills' moxie and prosthetic limb. "If I weren't on this show, I'd so be watching it," said DWTS fellow dancer and model citizen Paulina Porizkova. "Who wouldn't want to watch Heather Mills dance?"

"Stars" creator Conrad Green says that the judges should treat Mills like everybody else, but that she can't be penalized for things she clearly can't do, like, point her prosthetic toe.

Adds Porizkova, of the soon-to-be-ex-Mrs. Paul McCartney, who is Public Enemy No. 1 in her native England, "If she comes on and shows how warm and wonderful and gracious she is, the people are just going to go for her. However, if she doesn't, she's screwed."


Party Favors...Felicity Huffman Makes Jessica Alba Cry...Elton John Banned...David Duchovny returns to TV


Jessica Alba told Page Six that she recently took an acting class with married actors Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy. "Felicity was very hard on me," she said, adding that Huffman made her cry, "because I didn't prepare a scene right, or I didn't talk loud enough." ... Elton John is banned from playing the Plymouth Jazz Festival on the Carribean island of Tobago because he's gay. The archdeacon of the island told the London Standard that "his visit to the island can open the country to be tempted towards pursuing his lifestyle." Or pursuing platform boots. ... "X-Files" fans rejoice! Agent Mulder aka actor David Duchovny is set to appear in a new untitled comedy for Showtime this summer.

Deacon: Ban Elton John, He'll Make You Gay!

Elton JohnThe Archdeacon of Trinidad and Tobago wants to ban Elton John from a local jazz festival for fear that he'll tempt locals into becoming gay.

Elton is scheduled to headline Tobago's Plymouth Jazz Festival in April, but the country's Archdeacon Philip Isaac told a Jamaican newspaper, "His visit to the island can open the country to be tempted towards pursuing his lifestyle." Trinidad and Tobago immigration laws makes it legal to bar openly gay individuals from entering the island.

Despite the Archdeacon's homophobic and preposterous request, organizers of the Plymouth Jazz Festival maintain that John will close the three-day concert on April 29, adding "This country should be honored to have Sir Elton John perform in Tobago." Can you feel the love tonight?

Besides Elton, other artists scheduled to perform at the jazz festival include Miss Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J and Gladys Knight.

A rep for Elton John declined to comment.

This Week's Biggest Losers 11/25/06

For most of us, part of Thanksgiving fun is beating other dinner guests to the stuffing. For this hapless holiday group, it was more about getting the stuffing beaten out of them.

michael richardsMichael Richards: He looks a little bit like Lenny Bruce, and not at all like Richard Pryor. KKKramer should never have attempted to walk in the nimble N-word footsteps of a pair of stand-up comedy legends. On Monday's "Late Show with David Letterman," Jerry Seinfeld was there to hawk the Season 7 DVD just in time for post-Thanksgiving shoppers. Instead, he and Richards were thrust via satellite into an episode no one wanted to see. In moving from puffy shirt to puffy eyes, the 57-year-old Richards managed to instantly limit his near-term career options to a David Duke TV movie.
